L.T.M. Lasting Terror Moment

Rating: 8/10 (26 January 2005)

For me a truly great horror movie will always leave you with a Lasting Terror Moment. For me the LTM in 28 Days Later was the opening scene with the Rage Monkeys in the primate research centre. There's just something so primal and feral about seeing those trapped and diseased monkeys in their claustrophobic imprisonment, smashing and screeching the plexiglass. And then given an opportunity, one monkey lashes out and savagely attacks a human. The monkeys get their ultimate revenge: to wipe out the human species that infected them with Rage in the first place.
This is true terror featuring some Dumb ass Activists and a bunch of frightening monkeys (strangely I felt sorry and scared of the monkeys at the same time).
My zoo experience with the chimpanzee will never be the same again.
